They are not so much concerned with enforcing the law--that's what inevitables are for--as they are with understanding, applying, recording, and refining the law. Their goal is rectification: Resolve all contradictions and ambiguities, prescribe all possible responses to all possible situations, and determine once and for all the proper place and purpose of everything in the multiverse.Modrons' primary task is to identify "essential laws." An essential law is one that the modron hierarchy has concluded is right and necessary beyond all doubt. Once a law is deemed essential, the modrons make a special record of it and create inevitables to enforce it. (There is a branch of the modron hierarchy devoted to overseeing the inevitables.)When modrons act outside Nirvana, it's usually to gather information. They like stable nations with well-established codes of law; by observing those nations, they gain valuable insights into the nature of law itself. As such, they may intervene to prevent one of these nations from being overthrown by outside forces, so they can continue to watch it. Whether the nation is a just, enlightened realm or a brutal tyranny is irrelevant. The modrons may also intervene if they identify someone tampering with the inevitables, or to preserve an especially gifted scholar or legislator.The "Great Modron March" is a kind of universal inspection tour. The modrons travel around all of the planes and observe the operation of law in every plane. It also serves as a final test for any new proposed essential law. If, during the march, even one case is found where a violation of the proposed law does not lead to an increase in chaos, the law is scrapped.This is brilliant and I wholeheartedly endorse it. This should be the underlying concept of the slaad from now on.</blockquote>
